The blue flight reels from the Dragon Soul

Full History

The blue dragonflight paid a terrible price when Neltharion turned the Dragon Soul against his fellow Aspects. Dragons who had answered the call to defend Azeroth were struck by the power of an artifact created with the apparent consent of their leaders. Malygos, whose charge concerned magic, survived a devastation that altered the flight's place in the world. His grief and withdrawal became part of the legacy of the ancient war.

The War of the Ancients had forced the dragons into conflict with the Burning Legion and its allies. Neltharion presented the Dragon Soul as a means of overcoming that threat, but the weapon's betrayal made the defenders vulnerable to one of their own. The blue flight's losses were especially severe. A war supposedly fought to protect Azeroth thus produced an enduring injury among those appointed to safeguard its magic.

Malygos's response belongs to the early accounts without any need for invented numbers of dead dragons or precise descriptions of every surviving lair. His withdrawal shows that the effects of the war were not confined to the shattering of Kalimdor. The ancient flight remained associated with magic, but its losses explained why a once formidable guardian might be remembered through absence and sorrow rather than open leadership.
